2019 National Assembly election: Emmanuel Ekon's plan to instigate violence uncovered.




As the 2019 general election draws near, candidates of political parties are engaging different strategies that would guarantee their success ahead of the exercise.


While some of them are painstakingly campaigning across different communities to intimate and convince the electorates on why they should be given an opportunity to serve in order to deliver effective, impacting, accountable representation, others are strategizing on how to engage short cuts such as violence, mayhem and election rigging. This is a reflection of Emmanuel Ekon, Sen. Akpabio and Nsima Ekere.


Few weeks ago, intelligence report indicated that there is a fake militia training camp somewhere in Rivers State where some young men were trained on how to handle guns and some other weaponized tools.

Reports at our disposal reveals that Rt. Hon. Emmanuel Ekon, the member representing Abak Federal Constituency at the National Assembly is the sole financier of these thugs.

Information reaching us is that Ekon has been so desperate in his antics and quest to get back to the National Assembly in 2019 election.


Following the mammoth rejection of Emmanuel Ekon by the women and youths of Abak Federal Constituency few months ago because of poor performance and no constituency briefings for the past seven years plus, Mr. Ekon defected to the APC in order to secure a returning ticket for his self-centred ambition.


Knowing too well that the people of the Federal Constituency had on several occasions protested against his poor performance and as such, will gladly send him back to Ternesey where he came from, the desperate inactive Federal Lawmaker has resorted into planning for a violent election by 2019, which he believes is the only means he could used in returning to the Green Chambers for a third term.


He has sponsored the training of our youths in the art of shooting and killing. The Militia training camp in Rivers, training camp in Ogoni, Warri and Delta are all training camps sponsored by Ekon ahead of 2019 elections. This, one of the warsaw generals who also served as his campaign DG some weeks ago was arrested for kidnapping prior to the information I issued three days before the occurrence of the scenario. "Birds of the same feathers they say flock together". If Emmanuel Ekon is not a kidnapped or a patronage of the kidnapping business, why did he strived to exonerate his gang leader from the anti-social brouhaha? This, we now understand clearly who Emmanuel Ekon is and his plans ahead of February 16th National Assemblies elections.


From security informations gathered, there were more than 60 laptops allocated to Emman Ekon for the registration of voters at his Shelter Afrique's residence in Uyo.

It could be recalled vividly that on 13th of December 2017, Emmanuel Ekon , in his desperation invited some youths of Abak Federal Constituency mixed with some thugs outside the state for a meeting in Uyo.

The result of the meeting was the uproar of an unquenchable flame of crisis in Etim Ekpo that started on December 20th when Barr. Emmanuel Enoidem was almost assassinated during an occasion in Etim Ekpo. Emmanuel Ekon is synonymous with violence but thank God that this particular one has been revealed right on time.


If Emmanuel Ekon is not afraid of losing, he would do the needful by taking advantage of the campaign period by intimating the electorates on his blueprints. But I know Emmanuel Ekon doesn't have anything called 'blueprint'. All he has is a broomprint which denote selfishness, self-centered interest and greed.


In 2019, the people of Abak Federal Constituency will resist the war that would be brought to Warsaw; they will put their hands on deck to ensure a leader who would deliver effective representation to the people.

The people will choose for themselves a representative, and no intruder will be allowed access to any pooling unit. No one has the monopoly of playing the God-factor in Abak Federal Constituency.

Fellow Nigerians, check President Muhammadu Buhari's cabinet today, you will see that our ministers are mainly politicians with little or no technical knowledge in their areas of duties.
Do you think such cabinet can take us to the promise land?Increased hunger in the land as a result of the bad, poor and negative economic policies of the Buhari led administration: of course you and I are in this country and you can tell that price of all commodity has increased by more than 200% when compared to what it was in 2015. And this did not just happen on its own neither was it a result of past administration but remember that in 2015, when Mr president was elected , it took him about 7 month to get his cabinet ready and withing that period, exchange rates has skyrocketed.
